Applesauce Muffins

And, finally, these were the sweet muffins that made the cut.  For some reason I failed to get a picture of these.  They still tasted fine the next morning, but they were definitely better right out of the oven.  I made a few mistakes because of a typo in my recipe, but I figured it out before it was a total disaster.  Super easy.

Applesauce Muffins
makes 1 dozen

1 c. milk
1 beaten egg
1/4 c. melted shortening
2 c. all-purpose flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 c. regular applesauce
cinnamon-sugar (1 part sugar, 1/4 part cinnamon was how I made mine)

Blend together the first 3 ingredients.  In a separte bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.  Add to wet ingredients and stir until just combined.  Batter should be slightly lumpy.  Drop 1 Tbsp. batter into each greased muffin tin.  Drop 1 rounded teaspoon of applesauce into batter and fill with remaining batter.  Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar.  Bake at 375 for 25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
